I assume you meant tank tread/tracks.
There aren't any "off the shelf" solutions for this in FTC.
However, there is the possibility for creativity.
eg: LEGO has tank tread, and they are permitted this year. There are heavy/light weight variations. Probably not the best for drive system, but siutable for a conveyor.
Plus to can always make your own with the allowable materials (metal/plastic). Tough but not impossible.
